Leon took on Aleister Black in a losing effort but was still able to put on a showing which made the Dutch Destroyer look as dominating as ever. Ruff and Smith met while working on the circuit together and Ruff still wrestles for Evolve at present.

Ruff isn't currently signed to WWE or NXT, but he is one of a number of outside talents who have been able to make a mark on RAW in the current situation that has forced WWE to make drastic changes. His partner Aja Smith has also benefitted since she was able to make her main roster debut just four weeks after her NXT debut.
